Posted Breed: Labrador Retriever / Basset Hound / Mixed. Hi, we're Paso (12YO female lab mix) & Dudley (11YO basset hound). We are very loving pets who have lived primarily around adults. Sadly, our person is very ill and is not expected to outlive us, so we are in need of a quiet home in which we can continue our retirement. Ideally, you would be home most of the time, and perhaps you are retired yourself! We would like a comfy home where we can lounge around, and a back yard that is good for running around. We look forward to daily walks to the park or around the neighbourhood. We need to stay together, and preferably be your only dogs.
If you would like to meet us, please contact Christy Wollner at 720-829-7488.
Our adoption process is:
1. Fill out our Adoption Application online.
2. We'll contact you to schedule a home visit.
3. If the pet looks like a great match, fill out our Adoption Agreement online (or Foster-to-Adopt Agreement), pay the Adoption Fee, and arrange to pick up your new furry family member!

Basset Hound-Labrador Retriever Mix

If you’re looking to adopt a dog and don’t know where to start, puppyfinder.com is an excellent source for information about adopting a dog and will connect you with hundreds of shelters across the US that have adoptable puppies and older dogs waiting for forever homes.

Do your research – find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.

Decide what you can handle – before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you’re about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don’t have time for potty training and obedience classes you’ll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.

Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies – It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don’t be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet.

Start looking… Once you know what you’re looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.

Meet in person. Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can’t get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.

Posted Breed: Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed (medium coat). Meet Lily! The shelter I was rescued from, thought I was a Min Pin mix but I look more like a Terrier mix! I am only 6 years old and have lived 5 of those years in the shelter until the nice people from ARR rescued me so I could find my forever home. My foster mom says I am a super sweet girl, and I love, absolutely LOVE my people! In fact I follow my foster mom every where she goes! I am full of energy, love to fetch the ball and run around in the yard. I could use some basic training and learn some manners, I didn't get much of that in the shelter. I do sit when told, but will escape any open door. Mom is working on stay. I love treats so training will be easy. I get along fine with all my foster brothers. I pretty much ignore them because I too busy with my people! Mom says I would make a great furry friend and I may even like hiking. I've never been around the water, but I'd love to try as I like to put my front paws in the water bowl. I don't know if I like kids or not because mom doesn't have any of those but being the people dog I am she does not think there would be a problem. I have waited a long time for a forever home, so what are you waiting for? Fill out the form so we can meet your new fur baby!

Posted Breed: Terrier / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). Hi, I'm Bowser. I'm a sweet old boy who loves to cuddle. I love pretty much everyone I meet, from the two legged to the four legged. I'm in my golden years and during my life, I've developed a refined palate for pig ears. I also enjoy stuffed squeaky toys. I am housebroken and am familiar with my basic commands, although with a good pig ear or two, you may be able to teach an old dog new tricks! If you're looking for a gentle soul to take on joy rides in the car and then relax at home, then I'm your chap! Come meet me today!

Posted Breed: Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). I'm Tyger and I'm quite the lovebug! I love to snuggle with my person any chance I get. I also like to get bathed and to burrow under the covers! I seem to have a fear of males, but I'm a hit with the ladies. I'm also learning cool doggie things, like housetraining and my basic commands. Not to toot my own horn, but I'm doing pretty good. I also really like treats! I tend to be a typical Chihuahua and possessive of my human, so I would do better in a home without little kids or other dogs or men who want to move in on my lady. I'm a sweet boy who just wants to cuddle with my person. Accepting applications for snuggles today!

Posted Breed: Manchester Terrier / Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed. Hi, I'm Susie. I'm a sweet, playful pup who originally hails from Georgia. I was rescued from a pretty bad situation out there, and I am oh so happy to be in foster care. I love having someone to love me, four legged friends to play with, and a safe and warm bed in my crate. You'll never find anyone more appreciative of having a home than me! Due to my rough past, I do still have a few issues I'm working through. My therapist says I'm going to need some patience when it comes to warming up to new people and situations. I'm still very wary of men, and children might be a little too much for me right now. I need a home that's mellow, with a patient and caring person. When I'm comfortable and trusting and relaxed, I'm just the best dog ever! I can't wait to find the right special person that will love me forever and restore my faith in humanity. If you think you can love me forever, fill out an application to meet me today!

Posted Breed: Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). Hi, I'm Buster. I'm curious, playful, sweet and always up for adventure! I love to run, climb 14ers, and toss my squeaky toys around the house. I have all the moxy of a big dog packed into a fun travel size! I also like to curl up with you while you watch TV or read a book. I really just like being with my people. I'm still learning how to play with other dogs. Right now, I'm more comfortable with dogs my size, but I'd love to learn to play with the big dogs too! I've never been around cats, so I'm not sure what I'd think about them. I'm already house trained, know most of my basic commands and walk well on a leash. I can't wait to find a family that will help me keep learning about the world, take me along on adventures and can match all the love, affection and loyalty I have to give! Will it be you?

Posted Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (medium coat). Ernie is a sweet, trusting, friendly, and playful little guy, but almost completely blind. (He can make out large, contrasting shapes, and detect movement.) But he has excellent hearing and a great nose. He is small enough to carry, if need be, and quite agreeable to being lifted. He is friendly to all the dogs who greet him through his kennel mesh. Ernie was chained up and abandoned, and that's about all we know of his past. Our vet says there is nothing to be done for his vision, but he is otherwise in good shape for an older guy. Ernie needs a small home, so he can figure out where everything is, a safe little corner to call his own, and someone to love and care for him. If you would like to meet Ernie, please email Abbie Lynn at mauiranch@yahoo.com.

Posted Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Hi, I'm Princess! I'm a "pocket pittie" with an interesting rescue story:
My prior owners brought me in to be euthanized...twice. One of the workers in the facility, Genelle, took me in and has tirelessly tried to find me an adoptive home. She contacted over three dozen no-kill shelters and rescues, but no luck. During our time together, my foster has discovered that I am an awesome dog who will make the right family very happy!
I am house trained, leashed trained and familiar with basic commands (come, sit, stay, lay down) and even some fancy commands (spin!). My favorite snacks are meat-based. What can I say, I'm a carnivore! I also enjoy sliced apples and carrots.
I am loving towards all people-men, women, and children. I enjoy snuggling, chilling on the couch and, if allowed, climbing into bed with you. I have a dominant personality and prefer to be the only dog in the household. I am the quintessential Colorado dog, always up for a walk, hike or car ride! Because of my past, I do have some separation anxiety issues, but I have come along way.
If you would like to learn more about me, contact Genelle and she will fill you in!
Genelle can be reached at the following phone and email.
Phone: (719) 310-9304

Posted Breed: German Shepherd Dog / Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). I am a gentle couch potato, and enjoy long walks, just hanging out, never pulling on the leash. I know how to sit, lie down, roll over, and shake. I love to relax and watch TV and snuggle. I have a funny little snaggle-tooth smile and very soft fur. A little shy at first with new people, but very affectionate once I warm up, I am completely house trained and will not counter surf, or chew your furniture or shoes.
Jordan Bear is located with a rescue in New Mexico.
